When I first saw the room, I didn&#39;t know why they were stacked there, but I assumed they were empty caskets. I was quite shocked when I asked the tour personnel from the office who came to lock up the tomb and they told me the caskets are occupied, and that the descendants had &#39;stacked&#39; them. They also mentioned that all of the caskets are lead-lined and are sealed in such a way that the corpses are perfectly preserved. Truth be told the whole business just makes me feel uneasy.
